This Encyclopaedia is a comprehensive analysis of international finance in a corporate decision-making context. The text is structured around three sections. The Introductory part examines International Financial Markets, the second, International Risk Management, and the final part focuses on International Asset Management. With the rise of multinational corporations, the emergence of international capital markets, and the growth of overseas investment, the corporate finance function has become increasingly internationalized. This text covers the theory and practice of international financial management and brings together a wide range of topical expertise on issues of immediate relevance to finance directors, bankers, advisers and consultants with the support of an editorial board representing international financial institutions. This encyclopaedia aims to provide an easy-to-use source of reference.
